Mrs. Su was a smart person and she immediately understood what Su Wanti meant.
However, this method was too against moral principles, and she still couldn't believe it.
After all, the master is Su Wanti's biological father. How could she be so cruel?
Mrs. Su frowned and thought, and suddenly she remembered that after the incident in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the master had wanted to arrange for Su Wanti to go to another province.
The master also told her that Su Wanti had lost people from the Su Mansion and wanted to make her disappear forever.
She didn't take it seriously at the time, thinking that the master meant to send Su Wanti away and never let her return to the capital.
Now that I think about it, I realize the deeper meaning of this statement.
Her thoughts suddenly became clear. She raised her eyes to look at Su Wanti and saw that she was calm and had noble manners. She was no longer the unknown concubine in the Su Mansion.
She had already become a noble lady, and had flown to the top of the tree and turned into a phoenix.
After only a few months in the palace, she was promoted from a minor noble lady to a noble concubine, was deeply favored by the emperor, and was lucky enough to be pregnant with an heir.
It can be seen that she is not an incompetent and scheming person, she is just hiding her incompetence in the Su Mansion.
She probably discovered the master's murderous intentions towards her when she was in the Su Mansion, so...
Mrs. Su's eyes dimmed slightly. She had been with the master for many years and had some affection for him. When it came time to take action, she still felt a little reluctant.
But she thought of her two children...
Now, he and his two children can only live a good life by relying on Su Wanti.
After a while, she clenched her fists and looked determined.
"Wan'er, mother knows what to do."
At this moment, she made up her mind to sacrifice her husband to save her son.
"Mother, have you thought it through?" Su Wanti asked calmly, as if she was talking about something insignificant.
"Don't worry, my lady. I've thought it through."
Su Wanti chuckled when she saw her decisive words.
"Once mother has done it, please send a message to Yuzhu. I have been registered under mother's name. Big brother is my biological brother. Big brother still has to support our Su family. I will naturally plead for him in front of His Majesty."
The two smiled at each other and reached some kind of agreement while chatting and laughing.
After a while, the palace maid came to invite, saying that the birthday banquet was about to begin, and the emperor asked the concubine to go with him.
Su Wanti and Madam Su separated and went to Linde Hall respectively.
When Madam Su arrived, all the concubines and guests in the harem had already arrived. After a short while, the queen came in dressed in her best.
After waiting for a while, the emperor took Su Wanti's hand and supported her waist as they walked into the Linde Hall.
Just from this one action, everyone knew how much the emperor doted on Concubine Su.
Mrs. Su, who was sitting in the front row, also straightened her back unconsciously, feeling very proud.
The banquet began with clinking glasses and enjoying delicious food and wine.
The sound of stringed instruments and graceful singing and dancing.
Because Su Wanti was pregnant, the queen arranged a lot of cheerful and festive programs, which made everyone smile and laugh.
Plum wine was prepared at this birthday party. Since Su Wanti was pregnant and could not drink alcohol, a sweet soup with red dates and lotus seeds was made for her.
This sweet soup is like plum wine. The soup is crystal red, smells like a strong date aroma, and looks sweet and tempting.
Seeing that the sweet soup was well made, Su Wanti picked it up and wanted to taste it.
However, as soon as the white jade bowl of sweet soup was placed in front of her, she smelled an unusual smell.
There was a faint smell of sour herbs lingering on the tip of the nose.
Is there something wrong with this sweet soup?
Although Su Wanti drinks the spiritual spring in the space every day, which can cure all poisons, she still dare not take the risk.
Ye Zi used to make a living by collecting herbs in her hometown, so she quietly called Ye Zi over.
"Ye Zi, I think this sweet soup tastes wrong. Come and take a look."
Ye Zi became alert when she heard this. She frowned and her pretty little face suddenly became serious.
She first smelled the bowl of sweet soup carefully, and then took a small sip behind people's back.
Then, he turned to Su Wanti and said:
"My Lady, if I'm not mistaken, someone added safflower, moutan bark, aconite root, and peach kernel to this sweet soup."
"Most of these herbs are for promoting blood circulation. It's fine for ordinary women to take them, but if a pregnant woman takes them, it could cause the fetus to miscarry..."
Ye Zi glanced around alertly and whispered:
"I don't know who wants to attack the queen. This is too cruel."
"Your Highness, we must tell the Emperor. Let him take charge of your affairs and find that evil-hearted fellow and punish him severely."
Su Wanti shook her head. "Nothing's happened to me right now. How can that person be severely punished?"
"I'm fine, so that person can just find someone else to take the blame. The emperor's subordinates may not necessarily conduct a thorough investigation."
Ye Zi looked puzzled, "So are we just going to let it go like this?"
"How can I let it go?" Su Wanti chuckled.
"I have to let the Emperor see how injured I am, and make him believe that he is truly about to lose this long-awaited child. Only then will he be enraged, and his subordinates will investigate diligently, not daring to miss a single detail or let go of even the slightest trace."
"Furthermore, if he has the experience of losing and then regaining the child, he will cherish the child even more and will be able to punish the person who poisoned him severely."
"My Lady, you can't find out, right?"
Su Wanti took the bowl of sweet soup back from Ye Zi's hand and smiled softly.
"The people in front of the emperor are not pushovers. They are as meticulous as dust and have sharp eyes. There is nothing they can't find out, whether they want to or not."
"These guys are the most capable and know how to act according to their masters' moods. That's why I'm taking some risks. I'm going to make their masters feel distressed and enraged. Under the might of thunder, they'll definitely investigate quickly and accurately."
After saying that, she picked up the sweet soup and drank a few sips with bated breath.
As the sweet soup went down her throat, the strong sweetness of the rock sugar could not overwhelm the sour and astringent smell of the herbs, and Su Wanti felt uncomfortable in her stomach.
She covered her lips with a silk handkerchief to suppress the urge to vomit.
"My queen, why did you really drink this soup? It will cause miscarriage!" Ye Zi became anxious.
Su Wanti held her hand and said, "It's okay. I know my limits. You can act accordingly."
She wouldn't risk her own child.
She drank the spiritual spring water in the space day and night, and the herbs in this bowl of sweet soup had no effect on her at all.
While drinking the sweet soup, she also took a spiritual fruit taken from the space.
The effect of this magical fruit is extraordinary. It can cause the person who takes it to have symptoms of miscarriage. Both the pulse and the body show real symptoms of miscarriage.
However, these symptoms are just superficial and have no effect on the user's body.
Just a few minutes after taking the spiritual fruit, Su Wanti felt a stomachache, her face turned pale, and beads of sweat began to appear on her forehead.
"Empress, Empress, what's wrong with you?" Ye Zi screamed.
